Here, friend. Plex will send you an invite, use it on whatever device you have because it probably supports Plex
I share jellyfin with friends
Now download this app, no that one…no this one. Why does this one not work . What do you mean it doesn’t exist. Now you need my help getting you going…
Sorry, Jellyfin is great if tech people but I run a Plex server so I don’t HAVE to help anyone anymore.

Have fun.
Sorry but those are at best comfortable excuses of moving dependencies to another platform.
At most you’d need to train them on how to the same as before.
The only issue I’d seen so far were playback issues with non-standard encodings (audio codecs for example) and playback devices unable to work with whats reported…
But this is one of the rare uglies I have seen so far.
The problem I have with Plex is that default UI is bloated with recommendations, alternative sources and what might as well be ads. Meaning I need to help less technically literate (and sometimes technically literate) friends set up the UI anyway. Just so that they can actually cut through the piles of bullshit to see my server content.
Plex’s default UI is ruined by it trying to shovel its extra shit onto you constantly, making it a terrible new user experience.
At least with Jellyfin you connect to the server and you’re done. It’s a lot more manual, but the UI is just better and easier to navigate.
I say this as an avid Plex user, mostly due to Jellyfin having somewhat dodgy support for more advanced audio and video codecs

you’ve lost them at this point unless you literally do everything for them first
